Statue of Christ the King

The reinforced concrete statue rises 25 meters above the Coupeau forest, standing at an altitude of 1200 meters on the southern slope.

Architect Georges Serraz designed this monument, which was erected through public fundraising campaigns and inaugurated on August 19, 1934.

The interior chapel contains an altar with three bas-reliefs depicting angels and Christ the King, along with four religious statues including the Virgin of Peace.

The monument requires a 45-minute uphill hike from Les Houches train station, following the Chemin des Eaux-Rousses path through forested terrain.

A two-tonne bell installed after World War II rings from the steeple, its sound carrying throughout the entire Les Houches valley.
